epidemic.

The president has shown his good
sense by the promptitude with which he
retraced his steps when he discovered
that he had made mistake in the matter
of returning captured flags to the several
states. Mr. Cleveland is not lacking in
determination, as bis numerous vetoes
have conclusivelY proven, but neither
does be doggedly pursue policy once he
is embarked upon it. whether right or
wrong, as some presidents have done.
In the matter of returning union and
rebel flags, it appears that number of
old war trophies are lying dust covered
war department. Somebody conceived
the idea that it would be a good
thing to take these mementoes of war
from their seclusiou and return them to
the governors of the several states The
president approved of this disposition of
them, without, undoubtedly. giving the
matter much, if any, thought. Immedi~
ately there arose such howl as is sell
dom heard. 1t was charged that the
government intended to return to the
rebels the trophies captured from them
in battle, and this was denounced as an
insult to the Union soldiers. There can
be no doubt that this view of the matter
did not occur to the president at ALL but
when it was presented to him he prompts
ly Tescinded the order, thus spelling a
great deal of campaign ammunition for
the republicans.

New YORK, June lS-The sensation of the
day in the Sharp trial is the testimony of W
S. Pottle, who was engrossing clerk of the
state assembly in 1883 A strong effort was
made by the defense to have the evidence
ruled out, but Judge Barrett refused on the
ground that it was competent to prove that
Sharp intended to secure his end by bribery
If be could not in any other way.
POttle testified that while the bill was in
his hands for engrossment Sharp sent for him
He went to Sharps room at the Delavan
house. Sharp told him he wanted the words
Broadway and Fifth avenue in the bill, and
if it could be done he would go down
stairs and deposit 5000 with the hotel clerk,
Mr.. Baldwin. Pottle refused to insert the
words. Sharp then said; well, you don't

he could not entertain the proposition.
On cross-examination by Mr.. Stiekney,
Pottle admitted that words so inserted would
be detected at once He was very severely
handled by Mr.. Stickney and could not ex-
plain why as matter of duty he did not ex-
pose to the legislature the attempt to bride him
Pottle is now employed in the bureau of en-
craving and printing at Washington. The
incident caused much excitement in court.
George Bliss testified that he never received
